It is indeed possible that the ransom note was the product of a member from a "small foreign faction". The theory isn't at the top of my list of possible scenarios, but the note and the killing could have been a chilling message from the Asian Pacific American Coalition.

APAC was a 29-member pro-active political group at the University of Colorado at Boulder which, among other issues, was interested in correcting what it perceived as injustices when it came to apprehending and prosecuting perpetrators of violent crimes against Asian-American women. The group suspiciously disbanded just weeks after the murder of JonBenet.

There was a direct link between APAC and the Ramsey and Stine families by way of NI, a 21-year-old caregiver for DS who lived at the Stine's house and was a member of APAC. NI regularly babysat DS, BR, and JBR and drove the three children to school.

My theory is that a "loose cannon" in APAC used high-profile JonBenet to send a message to America. To the best of my knowledge, none of the 29 APAC members were ever investigated.

Almost any variation on your theory would require the house to be 'cased' ahead of time, would it not?

BC,

That is also not at the top of my theory list,but certainly cannot be ruled out.

Holdontoyourhat,

No, not necessarily. In this version of my BDI theory BR and JBR knew the perp and let him into the house that night, perhaps on the pretext of being Santa's secret visit. NI's association with APAC members would have allowed the children to get to know one or more of the 29 members through normal social contacts as NI drove the kids around.

The problem I have with this scenario is that I don't believe any foreign conspirator is going to go along with, trust, conspire with, etc., a 9 year old. Even a child-killer is going to have 2nd, 3rd, and 4th thoughts about that.

Hotyh,

APAC is not a foreign organization. Most of its members simply have Asian roots. APAC's goals were to promote the welfare of Asian Americans in the U.S., including the rectifying of perceived injustices against Asian American women. Thus, there is no "foreign conspirator" in my theory. However, APAC at Colorado University had a series of rather extreme speakers at the meetings in 1996 who promoted pro-active activities, which could have inspired a "loose cannon" member of APAC to do something dumb.

The basic problem with the "assisted intruder" scenario is the idea of any adult or near adult trusting a 9 year old enough to carry out anything like that. Dumb would be an understatement. Dumb is also not reflected in the safe entry and exit, on-the-spot authoring of the ransom note, creation and use of the garrote, quiet moving of JBR, etc., etc. What is reflected in the crime is a cold, brutal, calculating, clever, criminal, "serial killer" type (the subject of this thread).
